One of the Greatest Seinfeld scenes ever comes from the episode the switch. George's plan for Jerry to switch dating roommates goes awry and it turns out the roommates want a threesome with Jerry to play the part of hypotenuse. Jerry is disgusted, but George so impressed at how well the plan works says, "That is like discovering Plutonium by Accident"

I thought about this when the whole Anthrax scare happened (as an aside how come we never hear any follow-up to that, I don't buy conspiracy theories, but it's equally as scary that we can't find the Anthrax people or Bin Laden), and I am reminded of it now with Plutonium in London. Everywhere they go these days they are finding trace amounts of Plutonium and they think it is related to this Russian spy. Well here is a question, why not look for Plutonium in a middle sized city that the Russian Spy never visited, like Kansas City? What if you find trace amounts there, or trace amounts of Anthrax? Could it be that there are just trace amounts everywhere and if you keep searching you will always find it. Not sure, but it might be worth a look-see.

and we wonder why so many people get cancer? Possibly because we live in a world with trace amounts of radiation all around us.
